How to convince my wife to modify my 4Runner?

I must be a lucky man... 2 months after buying my 2020 Pro she says to me "You know what? Your truck would look better lifted with bigger tires" Do you think she'd notice if threw on some rock sliders, rack w/rtt, and lighting upgrades at the same time?:wof:

Bigger tires equals bigger steps... sliders for steps should be involved.
Rack and lighting are safety features.
 
Well. In Russia older people say, if you want to do it right way, ask your wife and do it Opposite. Try this one.lol!

My wife and I have separate accounts, so no issue there. My advice, make absolutely sure your wife knows and feels that she is more important than your 4runner......then get your mods.
 
When I pulled up to show her (my wife of many years) the new TRDORP @ the dealership, she said “it doesn’t look anything like your other 4Runner, how long will it take for you to make it look like Midnight?”
Answer: 6 years worth of modding, about 6 months or less.
She said ”Great, what’s first?”


That’s my baby!!!!!!!:kiss:

Asking forgiveness usually works better than asking permission in my experience.
Sometimes they never even notice.


This is my general approach. Depends on the mod.

Wife: Were those lights always on your 4Runner?

Me: Oh, you noticed? I installed those forever ago.

I think checks & balances are good. As with all things, too much of anything is never good and having to think twice about the wifes approval has saved me from turning our truck into an overlanding machine. Luckily, the mods have generated a lot of positive feedback from neighbors and the public in general. She is always excited to tell me about how someone told her the truck looked cool or gave a her "thumbs up" in traffic.
